Avoid meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time.
Meetings and calls can be quite time consuming, especially when there is no clear end goal. This is especially true in the corporate world which is jam-packed with useless daily meetings about policies, sales quotas and other “important” topics that everyone should know about it.
Before you agree to attending a meeting or a call of any kind, ask for the purpose of the call, or at least for the agenda. Ask how long it is supposed to take. If you don’t get a clear answer to any of those, simply don’t take the appointment.

Turn off email notifications.
Staying on top of your emails is important and you need to respond to them in a timely manner. However, that doesn’t mean you have to respond immediately. Stopping for an email breaks your focus. Then your concentration is bouncing between thoughts – which makes it harder to jump back-in.
This easiest way to avoid this from happening is to turn-off email notifications – do this with social media too. There are certain notifications you may need on your phone — missed calls or texts, for example. But anything that’s not completely necessary? Turn it off. Little distractions can equal big derailments.
Then, set aside specific times to check your emails. For example, 10am and 4pm.

Practice mindful breathing.
Focusing on your breathing takes your mind off of what’s stressing you out. Sometimes, especially when trying to calm yourself in a stressful moment, it might help to start by taking an exaggerated breath: inhale for six seconds; hold your breath for seven; then exhale for eight. As you do so, you may find that your mind wanders, distracted by thoughts or bodily sensations. That’s OK. Just notice that this is happening and gently bring your attention back to your breath.
Research shows that mindfulness may improve your concentration, reduce stress, and even alter the structure of your brain!

Stop drinking caffeine habitually.
Caffeine begins to lose its effects when you drink it as part of your routine, but it’s very effective when you drink it strategically (like when you need an energy boost or need to focus).
Instead, consume caffeine intelligently:
- drink water alongside caffeine,
- stay away from sugary energy drinks,
- eat very well when you consume caffeine,
- don’t drink caffeine on an empty stomach,
- and wait before consuming a second coffee/tea.

Eat mindfully.
When you eat, you likely do something else at the same time, like watching TV, sitting at the computer, reading, or talking to people. The problem is, when you divide your focus between eating and other things, you lose track of how much you eat. Mindful eating essentially links your brain with your stomach, which makes your sense of fullness kick in quicker.
So how exactly can you practice mindful eating? It’s simple. First, do your best to reduce the number of distractions around you that will dilute the attention you can give to what you are eating. Second, pay attention to your food – how it smells, tastes, and feels. This is naturally difficult to do all of the time because you likely do not eat every meal alone, and because it can be hard to eliminate distractions. Practicing eating mindfully a few times a week will make you eat better.

Turn off the TV.
The temptation to turn on the TV for “noise” or to relax can actually be harmful to your health and your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re doing something pleasurable and relaxing, like cooking or spending time with your family. These activities deserve your focus and will reduce your stress levels if you aren’t multitasking. So much television programming is made up of negative reports about crime and accidents, violence, or chaos, even having it on in the background can actually boost your stress levels. Try turning on some classical or smooth jazz music to relax your body and mind. Turn off the TV and give yourself some reflective time to read a book or play a game with your family.
